There is no disputing that commerce has become increasingly important to every business. But beyond having a commerce capability to support your business, does your commerce platform and technology support the future possibilities of expanding your business to cross borders?
With technology rapidly evolving, the commerce landscape has also changed dramatically, and we can only expect this speed of transformation to continue in 2016 – both in the business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) landscapes.
What are the key commerce trends we can expect in 2016? What are the buyers looking for from a commerce experience? How can you start to build a solid commerce strategy that allows you to cross borders? What are some of the commerce best practices to adopt?
